Little Sprouts of Hope

We got the little veggies in the garden on Sunday night, and sowed the seeds on Monday afternoon (I would have done it Monday morning, but the kids insisted I wait until they get home from school so they could do it.)





And then the rains began. In our drought-ridden desert-y home, the skies actually opened up. It rained Monday, Tuesday, most of Wednesday... and I had visions of the seeds rotting in the drenched soil before they could germinate. The sun came out again yesterday, but I wasn't hopeful. I had all but convinced myself they had no chance of surviving.

Then today I peeked on the garden to see how things were doing. And I was blown away to see a row of clustered sprouts. Spring (fall?) has sprung in our little garden. What a miracle!
